[Off-topic] Evolution-22-:
I understand with you guys about searching I'm not trying to down that. Just the fact it seems counter productive with all the posts about "omg SEARCH first omg!!"

Sorry this was just a rant from yesterday and why I did it in "Off topic". I'm over it now lol. Back to learning how to root.
[Off-topic] Demon_man:
I no exactly what you mean I am guilty of saying it to people, but like in my previous post i can see both sides lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkbajwa:
I easily rooted my Incredible but when tried to install Cyanogenmod 6 ROM through Rom Manager Pro the phone got stuck and I haven't been able to boot it since. To restart I have to pull the battery each time. Pressing the down volume key takes it to the recovery screen but haven't been able to go beyond that. Restarting it gets it stuck on a screen displaying "android". I am relatively new to android and all help will be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] ultimo1337:
Hello,

I have a htc hermes 200.

At first i can flash whatever i liked.

I started at wm5.

Then a flash to 6.

Then to 6.1.

Then to 6.5.

Then back to 5.

Now im on 6.1 pro.

But i dont like it, because of the "stock"ness of the rom.

So i wanted to flash, and i tried every rom.

But when i plug it in my computer and run "ruu_wrapper", after setting up windows mobile device center, nothing happens and i get the error, that my cable is cradled.*It isn't* (It stays in the rom, it doesn't even enter BL)

When i turn the device off, pull out the cable, and enter BL manually.

So i end up with a USB connection, and try to flash.

The bar fills max at 2%.

Then device resets and error code, rom isnt correct or something like that.

So plz, help me to be able to flash my ppc again!

grtz
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] nikio75:
Hello everyone,

First of all thank you to all the dedicated developers here! I am not technical enough to contribute...

I have a P3450 which I upgraded to WM 6.5 - the same problems with screen freezes and system crashes still exists after the upgrade, so the device is more or less not usable (every reboot takes at least 10 attempts). Therefore, I wanted to turn this into a android and installed Wing-Linux 0.4.2 per the guides on this board.

I now encounter a different problem. The screen starts flickering every now and then. This can only be resolved by a reboot. With the reboot issues mentioned above, this is also not a good option yet.

I was wondering if I need to define a different video/display mode in the default.txt to resolve this. Can anyone help? Has anyone encountered the same problems?

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
Sounds like phone corrupted card. Sorry, you're sol. There's another couple of posts relating to this subject and a possible remedy for future occurrences with this problem. Either look for post with subject of corrupt card or files disappear. It's in the same section as this one, you might have to look through a few pages before you see them. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] vbyt:
It all makes sense now, Optimus Prime destroyed the data when he found out you ripped them.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
No doubt
[EVO 4G General] midri:
After using HTC Voice Recorder my card got corrupted so I reformatted it and tried again... Not sure why, but HTC Voice Recorder corrupts my card EVERY time =/
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
For a freebee, try virtualrecorder. Cool features. Sounds excellent.
[EVO 4G General] koolhwhip:
Really? I'll look for them but I would have thought a corrupt card would manifest in some other way - like not functioning when you try to record or save something, not systematically deleting files. Strange.

I've only used my voice recorder a few times. After reading this, maybe I won't anymore.
[EVO 4G General] howdyace:
I just had to chime in that this very thing happened to me and with the same movies that i got from the files of the hd2.

All i know is that i had a gig or so left on my card and then the next day i had over 6 left. :(

The good thing is i had the card and all its content backed up on the wifes computer.

Sent from my evo while tying on the warm porcelain that is my toilet

Update:

I used that recuva you recommended and it worked! Got all my pics back. I've been wondering what on earth caused it to be lost in the first place because I haven't installed anything lately. I am rooted and I noticed alot of titanium backup files were also gone. Sprite backup files were gone. A mystery indeed. I've learned my lesson though. Backup. More. Frequently.

[Captivate General] Balthazar B:
AT&T has posted a new spec sheet on the Captivate here.

Couple of things stood out in contrast to information (speculation?) that has been posted on this forum and elsewhere, so wanted to mention them and see if any of the early purchasers can check and confirm.

Wi-Fi (WLAN)

Wi-Fi (WLAN) enabled	YES

WLAN support	802.11g

WLAN security methods	WEP, PSK, EAP, & WPA

Multimedia capabilities

NOTE: The storage capacity is limited by the remaining flash memory and expandable memory.

Audio/Graphic/Video Multimedia Messaging (MMS) Size Limit	300KB

Audio Player	YES

Audio Formats	SP Midi, Standard MIDI, WAV, MP3

Graphic Formats GIF87a, GIF89, PNG, WBMP & JPG

Video Player	YES

Video Formats	MPEG4 Part 2 Simple Profile, H.263 (.avi, .mov, .3gp, .mp4)

Memory

Flash (device) Memory	16 GB flash memory

Expandable Memory	Supports MicroSD cards with up to 16GB of memory

I point these out since some people have assumed that the base specs of the SGS were carried over to the Captivate (e.g., 802.11n, FLAC support, max 32GB MicroSD cards supported). Has anyone checked these on their phones yet?
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
Yea, those specs are missing quite a few things.
[Captivate General] Balthazar B:
Missing a few things that are actually on the device, or the device is missing quite a few things?
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Samsung-Captivate-phone-pa_4676.html

Also missing some of the supported media codecs like Xvid & Mkv
[Captivate General] accinfo:
This is really upsetting.
[Captivate General] pongothemagnificent:
This is android is not IOS4.... the N wifi protocol can be unlock with a custom kernel, Xvid can be played using rock player form the market, and about the 16gb SD limit, all manufactures say that but the SD controllers always support the max GB available wich is 32gb, so nothing to be worried about.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
IMHO Rockplayer sucks , its only software solution can only playback low bitrate under 1000kbs, player in Galaxy S can playback High profile h264 30fps no problem with real hardware acceleration .

In contrast rockplayer will get you ~5fps, atleast on Nexus one it sucks.

Anyway back on topic , if AT&T crippled Captivate to this extend its really sad for media enthusiast like me. I can only hope they posted basic spec for Android in general. As samsung phones should come with mkv,xvid ect. and NEON hardware acceleration.
[Captivate General] YeaItsSlo:
so are you saying we will be able to have a max of 48gigs? 16gigs onboard and then 32gig SD card?
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Not even AAC? Thats BS. I was about to buy this phone tomorrow. Now after see ing all this gimping just to make sure its not better than the iphone 4 on paper, I'm not so sure. I might go to sprint for the epic like I was originally thinking.
[Captivate General] Balthazar B:
I'm hoping someone will stuff a 32GB mSDHC into a Captivate and see whether it's fully addressable. Ditto the wi-fi radio for 802.11n capability (I find it odd that none of the dozen or so reviewers have commented on that). Any takers???

It's quite possible even AT&T's spec sheet is incorrect (and it won't be the first time recently they've screwed up...).
[Captivate General] Balthazar B:
Now here's what AT&T lists under the browser functionality:

File Formats Supported	3.0 (A2DP / AVRCP / DUN / HFP / HSP / OPP / SPP/ MP3 / AAC / AAC+ / eAAC+ / WMA / DivX / MPEG-4 / H.263 / WMV3 / YouTube / GIF87a / GIF89 / PNG / WBMP / JPG)

Seems to me a browser wouldn't be able to support all those formats without the accompanying codecs available via the OS. Again, someone needs to run a set of comprehensive tests on this device -- not the Reader's Digest-style technical evaluations we've seen up until now.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
I'm fine with no wireless-n, it eats battery too quickly, but Xvid? CMON NOW!! Anyone can confirm this???
[Captivate General] dmuntean:
I was able to play an Xvid avi no problem.
[Captivate General] unclejimbo88:
Has anyone tried playing a FLAC file yet?
[Captivate General] lordmaxx:
Well I can definitely tell you tomorrow, I did watch h264 on it in the store, as for wireless N I'll know tomorrow.

I remember when they posted the Aria specs those were incorrect as well... Lets not jump to conclusions.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Thanks for the update. I was hoping it was just at&t's lazy spec writing. They do it with most of their phones.

do you have any *mkv files you could try?
[Captivate General] dmuntean:
I just tried a FLAC file as well... Played just fine.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
Just watched an mkv 720p episode of the office on rockplayer ARMv7

It worked surprisingly well. Not perfect but with some optimizations it could be flawless. Maybe if there is ever an armv8 version (what the hummingbird is) that would be all it would take

So far the cpu power of this thing has exceeded my expectations
[Captivate General] ghost77:
Can you try playing mkv with captivate ,with its default player not third party ?
[Captivate General] cropythy:
Did you try an MKV with the default player to see if there really is lack of support on the captivate or if at&t is pulling some bs?
[Captivate General] Agent Carmichael:
Hopefully the majority of that spec sheet is wrong. If it is true however, that combined with the no sideloading is more than enough to make me not buy this. Before people say how ridiculous it is to not buy for those reasons because its possble to do everything with workarounds, I dont care its the damn principle of it that disturbs me.
[Captivate General] Agent Carmichael:
Ok it does play mkv on the native player.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
Is it 100% confirmed ? you or friend of yours tried it ?
[Captivate General] Agent Carmichael:
Theres a video of a 1080p mkv thats running on it posted by Yellowgto on the android forums. I cant link because im new to the forums but its there. under samsung captivate, the thread is called specs not equal to the SGS.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I am currently transfering an MKV file to my phone to give it a whirl!

EDIT: I went to "my files" and found the folder i put on there. Hit the .mkv movie and I am watching the new true blood episode on my captivate!

Good, just more errors by ATT then. I am sad about the 500 dollar price now though...still going to give a store a call sometime to check on it...I'm in Iraq though so its tough to say the least lol. Meh, screw it. I can always do the warranty trick for a new phone in the next 6 months or so bahaha.
[Captivate General] drleospaceman:

hmmm, I'm pretty sure I watched an episode of true blood in 720P in mkv format last night on my phone!
[Captivate General] karlotta:
802.11n?

Has anybody who has a new Captivate verified what the status of 802.11 n wifi is? I couldn't tell from the internals while playing around with the unit at the AT&T store.

Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pjeffe:
Hi, I'm a dev for the MixZing Media Player and we have a problem on HTC 2.x devices where our process gets stuck into the background scheduling group even if we have called startForeground(), which is supposed to keep us in the foreground. As a result we can't get enough CPU to keep the music from skipping when the user has the equalizer turned on, which causes us to do the decoding/DSP in our process (instead of using the mediaserver process, which is always in the foreground).

I've submitted a bug report at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9663, but I'm not holding my breath that Google and/or HTC will fix this anytime soon (but please "star" it anyway if you don't mind :-).

So I was wondering if any of the experts here would know of a way to stick a process into the foreground scheduling group. Naturally this needs to work on non-rooted phones for it to apply to the majority of our users. Any suggestions would be most welcome! Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] britoso:
I'm interested in this too. What's the option for rooted phones?

SetForeground is now a nop too :(

Anyone tried a custom looper? Seems complex.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pjeffe:
Well, it looks like ActivityManagerService.updateOomAdjLocked() calls Process.setProcessGroup(), which calls down to add_tid_to_cgroup() in sched_policy.c (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=blob;f=libcutils/sched_policy.c).

The funny thing is that I can write my pid to /dev/cpuctl/tasks just like add_tid_to_cgroup() does, and it does in fact change my cgroup to foreground: when I cat /proc/<pid>/cgroup it gives me "2:cpu:/", which is what foreground procs have, instead of "2:cpu:/bg_non_interactive". But at least on my Incredible it doesn't seem to have any effect on the actual scheduling. I'm still getting starved for CPU when the foreground process is using a lot of CPU, so the scheduler doesn't seem to be paying attention to this.

That's about as far as I've gone with it and I'm clean out of ideas.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kugel.:
Argh, I'm affected too. I'm a Rockbox dev and we're facing the exact same problem.
[Desire General] larsn84:
Hi

I've been updating my ROM whenever a new one came to my interest.

Unfortunately some of the latest updates has resulted in loss of data-connection.

After a few tests, I found out that the problem is in the ROM, so I guess you've been cleaning up, and unfortunately for me, deleted some nessecary settings for data-connection in Denmark. Dunno which, but I've been going through all of my settings, APN, radio, etc., and all are fully updated to newest versions, and my APN settings are correct. Still i get no 3g or HSDPA icon and when i go into internet browsing, it just says page can't be shown.

After doing all I could, I tried going back to SetROM 1.0, and then I got data-connection back.

I've been using Defrost since 1.8 with no problems, but around 2.0f it went bas :(

Now I tried:

SetROM 3.5

OpenDesire

LeeDroid

DJ Droid

and none of them seems to be working with data-connection for me, except SetROM 1.0

I dunno if there's any other way around this, but for now, I seem to be stucked with the old ROM, which works OK, but i would really like to be able to use the newest ROM's again.

Love all your work

Best regards

Lars

EDIT: SetROM 1.0, LeeDroid 1.2, Mcr r21 is tested and data connection works in these releases

I tried going into phone system settings via "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*), and got following information:

Ping IP Addr: Fail: IP addr not reachable

but still no dataconnection
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
Did you try to re-flash the radio?

Also, you could try to flash a RUU
[Desire General] larsn84:
Tried flashing the radio 3 times after i did a full wipe and then installed another ROM afterwards...

haven't thought about the RUU's yet, so I'll just try that and get back on that ;)

Thx for heads up

EDIT: But he RUU's are 2.1 (Eclair), right? well, those which comes with RUU
[Desire General] larsn84:
solved

(NOT REALLY) SOLVED

It seems there is an error in the gsm/WCDMA-module...

Settings -> wireless and network -> mobile data

It was set to Auto, and I chose it to always use GSM, now I'm back online with the newest updates an ROM's

It seems it still get an error sometimes, where it goes back into automode, and I need to set it again... dunno if this should be looked in to

EDIT:

Okay - it falls out a lot... can't stay online for more than 10 secs max...

Doesn't seem to work anyway - it says connected, but pages still can't shown

Bummer :(

Furthermore I have to menu's called "mobile network", dunno if they are interfering with eachother. They are there, when on DJ Droid and LeeDroid. Tried deactivating one of them, but no luck... Trying again with DeFrost, which dont use HTC Sense, and sees if that has something to do with it, couldn't get that to work earlier either, but I seem stuck with LeeDroid, and will se what there is to do in other builds without Sense

I Have wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache, before flashing

Also, I was thinking about the auto apps recovery feature could have something to do with it... haven't been looking much into that yet, just noticed when installing a new app, all my apps where still there after wipe and flashing new ROM (from Defrost 2.0 to Defrost 2.1 etc.) and I think I got a double of some of the programs :S
[Desire General] larsn84:
I give up

I've been through everything to my knowledge and what I could find on google

Only ROM that seems to work is SetROM 1.0, then I hope a new build in the future will work with danish networks again
[Desire General] jchusted:
I have tried to get an answer on the same problem But it seems like there is no help to get. Right now im using FIRERIZN_W_1 which i think are a very good and stable rom and must important works in denmark.
[Desire General] Janniktn:
i have no problems with any of those roms, currently running MCR r5 and speedtesting my mobile network to 260 kB/s

in Denmark that is
[Desire General] jchusted:
I just found the problem. I had to create my APN settings manually and now it work like a charm.

To you other danes which have the same problem as me, just contact you operator for the APN settings.

I found this link for my operatør, its not the right phone, but the settings are the same for me.

http://www.callme.dk/kundeservice/mobil/mobilopsaetninger/opsaetning-af-sony-ericsson-x10/

Hope that can help you guys which have the same problem.
[Desire General] larsn84:
Okay. Thx, will try one of those rom's instead. Setrom 1.0 works okay too, also 3g and froyo, but of course its not fully upgrade as 3.5

I allready tried putting in the apn settings manually, but no luck

Thx for the answers though. Very much appreciated
[Desire General] larsn84:
Do you have a link for the mcr?

I just rooted for the first time a month ago, though I have had, and preordered to month before release, the first android mobile, HTC magic and never left android since... but I'm glad that I took the leap and rooted, just too bad that 3g doesn't work in all rom releases

But what I meant to say was that I dunno all releases yet. Only tried defrost, DJ Droid, leedroid, setrom and opendesire

EDIT: I'm on FireRIZN now, and everything seems to work great, so thx for that :D I don't like the red theme that much though, so would like to test out Mcr too, just to try it :P
[Desire General] ivarson_swe:
I have issues with data too. In Sweden though. But my problems comes and goes and persists for about a minute. I am 100% sure my problem is related to the radio file because on my HTC Magic I had this same problem with some 6.xx radio-versions also called "new radio" but not with the old series, 3.xx. on my HTC Desire however its actually the oldest version of the radio that works the best. Last I would also like to remind you of the servicemenu that you can reach by "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#*. In the first menu, phone information, you can perform a ping test and view low level network stats, and also set preferred network mode.
[Desire General] larsn84:
I don't think it's the radio which causes it, of course im not sure, but I downgraded to an older radio, without a better result. I think they have cleaned up the roms to much and perhaps deleted some settings that we need in the nordics. Of course they are not importent to them, while the ROM still fully works in their contries, and they get a cleaner and faster ROM. Unfortunate for us though.

Things you can check are the APN settings. get them from your tele-provider, and set them manually.

Otherwise, try wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before installing new ROM

And at last - which gave me success - try another ROM. I tried most of the ROMS except Modaco custom ROM (MCR - Finally found it) and FIRERIZN. FIRERIZN worked for me, and is going to try Modaco shortly, which should be close to stock ROM, but upgrade to latest builds and kernel, etc.
[Desire General] larsn84:
Okay, haven't tried "dialing" *#*#INFO#*#*

But downgraded to 4.xx.xx radio from 5.xx.xx and didn't help. But perhaps the INFO dial would help on the other ROMS i used ealier, as DeFrost etc.

QUESTION: Do I have to become Premium member at Modaco's homepage to download the Mcr? I would be sorry to pay 10-30$ and then find out that the 3g doesn't work :S
[Desire General] larsn84:
I'm on Modaco Custom ROM (Mcr) r21 now and 3g works here too.

Dunno what the difference between r5 and r21 is, but it seems r5 is a newer relase. The r5 seems to be accessable by kitchen only, which requires Premium membership (10$)

Considering bying, but need to check out the benefits at first :)

I guess the reason for the data connection loss must be concluded to be due to ROM updates/cleaning of ROM.

Perhaps a MOD could be made to get back the old settings for nordic, which I believe must have been cleaned away :)

Thanks for all the help guys. Think I'm sticking with Mcr r21 for a while, untill further info has been released in other releases

EDIT: Mcr 21 is close to stock Froyo (thumps up), on the other hand, phone storage is pretty low :S Don't think camera works either, nor video recorder, I'm sure this is fixed in r5 (payed version)
